Device for moving elements for containing products for a corner cabinet

Abstract

A movement device installable in a corner cabinet includes at least one frame, for supporting at least one first containment element and at least one second containment element placeable mutually side by side in horizontal direction, first guide means for translating the at least one first containment element along a first drive direction and second guide means for translating the at least one second containment element along a second drive direction, wherein the first guide means are operatively connected to the frame so as to allow the movement of the at least one first containment element only along the first drive direction.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A movement device installed in a corner cabinet which has an off-centered opening, said off-centered opening identifying a vertical access plane within said corner cabinet, wherein said movement device comprises at least one frame for supporting at least one first containment element and at least one second containment element placeable mutually side by side, first guide means for translating said at least one first containment element along a first drive direction, said first drive direction being substantially perpendicular to said vertical access plane within said corner cabinet, and second guide means for translating said at least one second containment member along a second drive direction perpendicular to said first drive direction, wherein said first guide means are operably associated with said frame or with inner portions of said corner cabinet so as to allow movement of said at least one first containment element only along said first drive direction, and wherein the device comprises third guide means perpendicular to second guide means and operatively connected to said at least one second containment element and to said frame for moving said at least one second containment element along said first drive direction, whereby both said at least one first containment element and said at least one second containment element are extractable with respect to said vertical access plane. 
     
     
       2. The movement device according to  claim 1 , comprising a drive device or a rod adapted to connect said at least one first containment element-operatively to said at least one second containment element, so that as a result of the displacement of said at least one first containment element along said first drive direction, a corresponding displacement of said at least one second containment element is caused along said second drive direction. 
     
     
       3. The movement device according to  claim 2 , wherein said drive device comprises a system of articulated levers comprising in turn a first lever, a second lever and a third lever hinged to each other, wherein said first lever is operatively connected to said at least one first containment element and to said second lever, said second lever is connected to a third guide means, to said first lever and to said third lever and wherein said third lever is connected to said second lever and to said at least one second containment element so as to define an articulated system. 
     
     
       4. The movement device according to  claim 3 , wherein said first lever is hinged to said at least one first containment element at a connecting point, rotatable about a first rotation axis, and is hinged to said second lever, rotatable about a second rotation axis, wherein said second lever is hinged to said third guide means rotatable about a third rotation axis and is hinged to said third lever rotatable about a fourth rotation axis, wherein said third lever is hinged to said at least one second containment element, rotatable around a fifth rotation axis, said first rotation axis, said second rotation axis said third rotation axis, said fourth rotation axis and said fifth rotation axis being aligned parallel to each other and reciprocally movable following the movement of said at least one first containment element and said second containment element. 
     
     
       5. The movement device according to  claim 3 , wherein said first lever follows the movement of said at least one first containment element along a first stretch of said first drive direction, wherein said first lever exerts a force on said second lever causing the movement of said at least one second containment element along said second drive direction. 
     
     
       6. The movement device according to  claim 5 , wherein following the movement of said at least one first containment element along a second stretch of said first drive direction, said first lever exerts a force on said second lever, causing said second lever to rotate about a second rotation axis so as to cause a thrust action on said third lever along said first drive direction, for moving said at least one second containment element along said first drive direction. 
     
     
       7. The movement device according to  claim 2 , comprising a cam system comprising a cam path constrainable to said frame or to internal portions of said corner cabinet and a cam follower constrained below said at least one second containment element. 
     
     
       8. The movement device according to  claim 7 , wherein said cam path comprises a first linear section which develops aligned along said second drive direction and a second linear section which develops aligned to said first drive direction. 
     
     
       9. The movement device according to  claim 8 , wherein said first linear section and said second linear section are mutually connected by means of a curved section.
